Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had small tears and tiny paper loss on parts of several folds, with some smudges in the title and tack holes around the edges, and a few tack holes scattered in the poster. It had brown stains scattered across the bottom blank border, where there had been tears, with one tiny brown stain in the bottom center of the image background. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone backed the poster many years ago, and they did fairly slight restoration to the tears and paper loss on the folds and crossfolds, and they completely left alone the stains in the bottom blank border. Certainly, I could see many collectors choosing to display this incredibly rare poster exactly as it is, or one could have additional restoration performed, either with or without re-backing the poster. Finally, note that the original linenbacker left 1" of additional linen in the borders, beyond the regular excess linen, and there are many creases in that extra excess linen, but of course, it does not affect the poster at all. That could easily be trimmed off, or one could leave it as it is.
